ANSWER.
A Church fallible in Iudgement, is to be trusted, when it confirmeth her doctrine by the word of God, which is an in∣fallible [ D] witnesse. And although a Church be subiect to possi∣bilitie of Errour, and although the doctrine thereof wanting Diuine proofe, is not to be receiued of the learned as matter of Faith a 1.1, yet no libertie of contesting the lawfull authoritie of the same when it (confirmeth her sayings by Gods word) is hereby permitted to contentious Spirits: and it is more pro∣bable, That Pastors of the Church, assembled in Gods feare and not factiously for their owne ends, shall iudge aright, than Popes, which referre all things to their owne worldly ends. [ E] Also it is one thing to contradict a Church, defining and spea∣king of it selfe, and another, when it deliuereth the doctrine of
Christ. Now whensoeuer the preaching of the Church is [ A] according to the rule of holy Scripture, the voice thereof is the voice of Christ, and all people, learned and vnlearned, are bound to heare and obey the same.
